I did the shift last Sunday
(not many Tourists in)
We had a full team too today,
it seems we cannot win!!
The Lookout was a lonely place,
no one to talk to there,
and Cornwall was deserted
even Hold was rather bare.
I sat down at the Waterfront,
but let the breezes blow,
I did have one or two who played
though business was quite slow.
The Penguin never got shook up,
the Lighthouse kept its list,
the few who played were quite adept,
with all the hazards missed.
I think it was fine weather
that kept most people out,
It’s all wrong for November,
but the rain WILL come, no doubt.
Or when it’s snowing heavily,
and folk come through the door,
We’ll have just TWO on shift that day,
Please can we have two more!!!
